01x10 - Hello, My Soul Mate

[bunniefuu]

OUR BELOVED SUMMER

Where do I begin?

First, I'll tell you about myself.

We have no time. Let's hurry.

Here.

What's next?

I live a very professional life.

-Pose for us.
-You're pretty.

-Over here.
-Good.

Pose for us.

-Over here.
-You're amazing.

Look over here.

Look up, please.

My life is glamorous

and way too passionate.

But enough about that.

I'll tell you about my true self.

SHINE LIKE MAGIC

There's this character in my story.

He appeared out of nowhere one day
as if he was destined to.

But not really.

NJ

NJ PURCHASES A FIVE-STORY BUILDING

News like this travels fast.

Celebrities make easy money.

I hear she became an idol
just to buy buildings.

Is it an article about you?
Whatever it is, don't look at it for now.

That's easier said than done.

There are so many ads
in news articles nowadays.

Gosh.

Darn it.

I guess we were scientifically matched
through big data analysis.

These drawings are a bit…

GO-OH

…strange.

GO-OH'S ILLUSTRATIONS

After purchasing a building,

I ended up going to an exhibition
of someone who only drew buildings.

And that's where we met.

It may be crinkled, but it's clean.

What's this for?

You're crying.

This place might be confusing to navigate.

You can start over there.

Thank you.

Don't I look silly?

I'm crying while
looking at a drawing of a building.

It's understandable.

Did this drawing make you cry too?

Well…

I knew it.

I'm the only one who's a mess.

Well…

Feel free to come here and cry
whenever you want.

If you're too embarrassed,
I'll cry with you.

That was such a cheesy pick-up line.

I was trying to comfort you.

Why would you comfort a stranger?

You don't feel like a stranger to me
since I've seen you often on TV.

I feel like I know you.

I'm a fan of yours, NJ.

Hey!

Hey…

Hey, where are you?

Hey.

When I find something suspicious,
I have to get to the bottom of it.

Do you work here?

No. I'm a visitor.

Do you know the artist?

No. I'm just a visitor.

I'd like to buy this one. How much is it?

It's ten million…

Since I'm a mere visitor, I'm not sure.

But you can go ask over there.

The drawings aren't the only things
that are strange.

-Sorry?
-Sorry?

Never mind. Where do I need to go again?

Please don't damage it.
Please be careful with it.

GO-OH'S SOLO EXHIBITION

So I wanted to find out.

Give me your phone.

-I am a busy woman, but…
-What for?

If I get bored of that drawing,
I want to buy another one of yours.

I'm not the artist.

Really?

-Then I should just return that drawing.
-Wait.

Please keep it a secret.

Well, it's fun.

This is my number.
Not many people know this number.

Not many know my number either.
I don't have many friends.

And just to be clear…

Anyway, I'll give you a call later.

ARTIST GO-OH

…this is something that I do

-Again?
-to all guys.

-How long will this one last?
-There's no information about him.

I wonder what your deal is.

I'm just a romantic girl.

Don't be ridiculous.

Your interest in men lasts
no longer than two months.

We all have our own ways.

That's how it all began,

but it turned out
that he was much more interesting

than I had first thought.

And that caused some problems.

Mr. Choi, what are you up to?

I'm preparing beansprouts.

Gosh, it's scorching hot today.
What are you up to?

I'm weeding.
It feels as if my head is on fire.

I gave a terrific live performance today.

Why aren't you watching?
What were you doing?

I'm eating. I can pay to watch the rerun.

Mr. Choi, I know it's late,
but I have a question.

What are you doing right now?

I thought he'd just be someone
I'd think of from time to time.

To that person?

Mr. Choi!

So I wanted to find out

if this will be
just another passing interest

-or if it will end differently this time.
-Darn it.

But I don't think

it'll take too long to find out.

EPISODE 10
HELLO, MY SOUL MATE

What are you two doing?

We started a new chapter
in our lives yesterday.

We decided to be friends.

It just happened.

Are we sh**ting
a documentary or a comedy skit?

Why are you here at this hour?
You didn't even call.

You didn't pick up.

Seeing you together
at this hour is very unexpected.

Sure, I get that
you could take this the wrong way.

-But it's definitely not--
-I'm not.

You probably got tired of arguing
and reconciled.

-Yes. Exactly that.
-Yes.

-I'm going to sleep over.
-What?

Hey. My house isn't an inn.

Why does everyone do that?

Did someone else sleep over?

Eun-h*. That punk.

Darn it.

Are you guys going to just stand there?

I was just about to leave since it's late.

Wait. What about the chicken?

-What? Are you sad to see me go?
-Not really.

Late-night snacks are unhealthy.

You're the one who ordered it.

Bye. Have fun.

Yeon-su, call a cab. It's dark.

It's okay. I'll just walk.

-I ordered some chicken--
-Hey. Just go already.

You didn't need to kick me out.

You can still catch a bus.

Take the number four bus. Don't walk home.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Finally, some peace.

It'd be great
if someone else would leave too.

I can hear you.

-Did you eat?
-Yes.

The chicken will be here soon.

Did you order beer too?

I did.

You startled me.

I almost had a heart attack.

You brat. Do you know what time it is?

What's the matter?
I always come home around this time.

You didn't come home last night.

I told you
I'd be sleeping over at my friend's.

I'm no longer a kid, you know?

Is that why you've been up until now?

You don't have any friends.

What? You shouldn't ridicule
your granddaughter like that.

Where did you sleep? Where?

-I slept at Sol-i's.
-I'm here, Yeon-su.

Hi.

Why are you here?

You wench. How dare you lie?

Tell me the truth. Where did you sleep?

Grandma, I'll interrogate her.

It's getting late. Go to bed.

I'm certain she has a guy.

-That's good news.
-Of course.

-Then why did you slap her?
-Because I'm curious who it is.

Find out about him.

I can hear you guys.

Really? Go in, Grandma.

You have the right to remain silent.

Why did you come to my house?

I met your grandma in the alley.

She thought you were sleeping over
at my place.

You should have told me about it
before lying.

I wasn't lying.

How brazen of you.

-What friend do you--
-Choi Ung.

I slept over at his place.

I knew it.

He wants us to be friends.

What?

Friends. That's what he wants us to be.

There you guys go again.

Right? This is weird, right?

That weirdo doesn't deserve
to be with someone like you.

What's his deal?

So? What did you say?

Did you say yes?

Yes, for now.

For now?

So? What's your plan?

I'm going to find out
how he really feels while being friends.

I'm going to make him admit it.

Admit what? How he feels about you?

Yeon-su, this isn't a crime movie.
It's romance.

You're not after some criminal.

You have a crush on him.

A crush?

That's not true. Don't be absurd.

Then what is it?

I just want to know what's on his mind.

You're curious about his thoughts

because you want him to feel the same way.

That's what people call a crush.

Go to bed. Stop thinking about him.

I never said I was thinking about him.

You have a crush.

I've had plenty too.

Ask me if you want to know anything.

I don't have a crush on him.

I didn't know you could be so devoted.

-Do you still like him that much?
-It's not like that.

What a terrible temper you have.

You must like him a lot to be--

That's not true.

Ji-ung, hurry.

-It's here?
-Yes.

How many more shoots do we have?

Three. We'll be done next week.

How is it going?
I doubt it's going according to plan.

If you're aware of that,
I'd like you to take more initiative.

Stop running away.

You've been giving me
that look often these days.

Just say what's on your mind.

If it's nonsense,
I'll filter it out myself.

I did have a question.

But never mind.

Whatever.

I'm just going to think however I want.

Gosh. Now this is a creative way
of being annoying.

What is it? Is something going on?

I mean…

You're not a drinker,
but you wanted to drink.

And you haven't stayed over in ages.

I just don't want to go home.

What is it?

Are you feeling butterflies
since I'm staying over?

Are you drunk? Wash up and go to bed.

By the way,

hasn't it been years
since we had some alone time?

Ung, should we sleep together?

Gosh. This is why
I don't drink with lightweights.

Are you going to bed already?

I'm going to work a bit. You go ahead.

But you've been drinking.

Shut up.

Don't go. I'm not sleepy.

Hey.

Go to sleep before I change my mind.

I'm this close to kicking you out.
Good night.

The camera is ready. Are you good?

You're here early.

-How's the scenery?
-Good.

You can sit over there.

-We'll begin whenever you're ready.
-Okay.

You left it there on purpose, right?

No, I really forgot about it.

Your excuse for going back there is that
you left a pouch behind.

You know it's pathetic, right?

It's not an excuse. It's precious to me.

Of course. Sure.

I begged you to have lunch with me.

But you just had to get that pouch
right now, so you declined.

Why is that? Can I take a guess?

You want to use that as an excuse

to go back there
and have a lovely meal with Ung.

Come on.

Am I wrong?

How did someone like Ung
get you under his thumb?

I'm genuinely curious.

Everyone! This girl fell
head over heels for her crush

and has left me to starve all by myself!

Can you stop saying
that I have a crush on him?

I'll be off then.

I'll have a tasty and blissful meal

all by myself.

Be happy, Yeon-su.

Good luck, Yeon-su.

Hello. I'm Choi Ung's friend, NJ…

Can I use a fake name?
The company doesn't know I'm doing this.

Can you blur my face? No, wait.
Will that make me look like a criminal?

Let's just start filming.

Hey.

What do you want to know?

Should I talk about Choi Ung?

Your side dishes…

-I remember now!
-My gosh!

What are you doing here?

You visited that bar over there
to steal their recipe, right?

-What?
-Gosh.

What are you doing here? Do you work here?

Yes, I help out when they're busy.

I knew you looked familiar.

Are you doing market research again?

No, I'm not.

Are you close with the owner?

What? Don't you know?

-Know what?
-The name of this place.

-It's With Ung.
-Yes. So?

My gosh. No way.

Unbelievable. How did you not know
when your own a shop nearby?

Ji-ung's parents run this restaurant?

I can't believe it.

His family is wealthy.

No wonder.

Why didn't you even bother
to consider Ung?

Come on. Ji-ung looks more--

They're Ung's parents.
They own all the restaurants here.

I do admit that Ung doesn't look like
he's from a wealthy family.

But he is, and you better believe it.

I got goosebumps.

I finally found out one of his charms.

Yeon-su, you're one cunning girl.

-What about her?
-What? Nothing.

Are you sure that's enough?

-I have so much more to say.
-This is more than enough.

-I didn't know they were filming today.
-Let me know if you need me again.

Me neither. I was taken aback.

Why are you here?

Oh, I left something at your place.

Mr. Choi.

Were you watching the whole time?

You shouldn't have.
It was supposed to be a surprise.

Then why would you do it at my place?

For convenience, of course.
We're going on a date today.

I'm sorry? It's not a date.

You must be Ms. Kook Yeon-su.
We've met once.

Right.

I enjoyed your documentary.

-Mr. Kim, may I leave now?
-Sure.

I'm famished.
You haven't eaten yet, right?

-Let's go.
-Well…

Hey, Ung!

I left something at your place.

I need to get it right now.

Right now? What is it?

It's something super precious to me.

You can go inside and look for yourself.

But it's your house.

What's wrong? That's unlike you.

But still…

See you next time.

Let's go.

Okay.

What should we have?

Can I film your face right now?

What face am I making?

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Why was NJ being filmed?

Beats me. She wanted
to be interviewed as Ung's friend.

As his friend?

He's suddenly made a new friend.

Don't just stand there. Let's eat.

We could've had something fancier.

This was my treat
as a way of saying thank you.

I like this place.

I come here whenever I have free time.

This must be a famous restaurant.

-I have a great view from here.
-Of what?

Of my building. Over there.

-How much is that?
-When I first got it or now?

How does it feel to own one?

When I first got it or now?

Gosh, you look very impressive right now.

I know.

How does it feel
to see the building I asked you to draw?

Right. Well, you see…

I don't think this is the right way
to go about drawing something.

I'm afraid
it'll taint your reputation and--

And?

To be honest,
I'm not really motivated to draw.

Oh, no. Even my building got rejected.

That really hurt.

That wasn't my intention.

I'm just playing. I understand.

Then let's forget about that favor.

I told you. NJ comes here all the time.

You're right.

By the way, who's that guy?

It's probably her manager.

She's not as pretty as I thought.

-She's too skinny.
-I agree.

I think she recently had plastic surgery.

Don't you think so?

I'm certain. Let's take a photo.

I'll take it. I have a better angle.

I'm sorry,
but please don't take any photos.

Well, we weren't taking a photo of you.

We were taking a selfie.

How ridiculous.

This must happen a lot.
You seem to be used to it.

I can never get used to it.
I just pretend I am.

Soon, they'll post it online
and leave a comment.

"I saw NJ today,
and she wasn't that pretty."

"She didn't let me take a photo."

"She had a nasty temper."

They're strangers to me

but they think they know me
and judge me so easily.

Isn't that funny?

I should've checked their phone.

How rude of them.

Why can't people understand me?

And why are they so quick to judge?

You don't need their understanding.

There's no need for you to do that.

Who cares? Let them see

and believe what they want.

It's fine as long as
you understand yourself.

That's already hard enough.

Do you know what your charm is?

That was sudden.

You're quite easygoing and humorous,

so I can go on all day
about the most ridiculous things.

-Is that a compliment?
-But you also have

a serious and sincere side to you.

So you tell me
what I need to hear at times.

You're quite charming.
You have many layers.

I'm not asking you out,
so why are you embarrassed?

I'm not good with compliments.

Look at that. You're also adorable.

What should we do next?

I haven't had a free day in ages.
What should we do?

Let's see. First…

Let's see…

He's not the type
who easily befriends people.

He's not naturally sociable.

He's only interested in himself.

He's just interested in her
because she's a celebrity.

Since he's become famous,
he's enjoying himself.

He shouldn't have revealed himself.
Why did he have to do that?

Deep down, he sought attention.

You're the one
who persuaded him to do that.

Why did he have to be persuaded?

What is it?

You've been talking incessantly
about him for five blocks.

What should we have?
Are you craving anything?

That wasn't a smooth transition.
How suspicious.

How about Korean food?

-What? Hello.
-Mr. Choi.

Hey, guys.

What did you order so much?
It's double the usual.

We've had a lot more customers lately.

-Let me.
-It's fine.

Mr. Choi, your back will give out.

My back is just fine.

Where is Ung? He hasn't been picking up.

Should I call him over?

-It's fine.
-Hey, Yeon-su.

-Hello.
-Gosh.

Why did you call Ji-ung for help?

Gosh. Did I call you guys?

We were just passing by.
It won't take long.

Ji-ung, you're so wonderful.

-Thank you.
-Let me help.

-No.
-It's okay.

-They're really heavy.
-Go.

Did you eat?

Not yet. We were about to eat.

Then eat here.

Goodness. Aren't you Ji-ung's mom?
It's been ages.

I haven't seen you in so long.

Goodness. Hello.

I hadn't seen you in ages,
so I was worried.

-Have you been well?
-Of course.

You must have been grocery shopping.

-Come inside if you haven't eaten yet.
-Come in.

-Yeon-su.
-Yes?

I'm sorry, but I don't think
I can eat with you.

You should eat here.

Wait.

Goodness. Ji-ung, aren't you going to eat?

All right.

Goodbye.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

-He should have just eaten here.
-Bye.

Is there something you want to say?

You should come home.

Don't sleep elsewhere.

Or do I need to leave?

You're going to leave anyway.

I have a favor.

I really care about those people,

so I don't want to show them
this side of me.

Be your usual self.

Ignore them and go on your way.

This is a side of you I've never seen.

-Sorry?
-I didn't expect you to know how to drive.

-I like it.
-What? You startled me.

You should choose your words carefully.

Gosh.

I see. That's not what I meant.

I like driving.

It's just that Eun-h* usually drives,

and I rarely have to travel far.

I wanted to have a blast today.

I'm sorry we keep being chased around
because of me.

Everyone seems to recognize you.

What do you do when you're alone?

Let's see…
Do I need to do be doing something?

I enjoy doing nothing.

Then what did you do yesterday?

Well…

I…

I really don't want to have to do this

but can I ask you something?

What's going on between you and Ms. Kook?

Do you mean in the past or now?

Both.

In the past,

I really liked her.

I didn't know I could be
that madly in love with someone.

And now…

we've decided to be friends.

How does it feel
to love someone that much?

I'm curious.

How could you still talk like that
even when you've broken up?

No. Never mind.

Don't answer that.
I'm not curious anymore.

I think we're here.

Yes. Turn left over there.

Thank you for dropping me off.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

Wait.

Don't take to heart what happened today.

Rest up.

Wait.

It'd be a shame
to end my free day like this.

-But there's nowhere we can--
-Do you want to come up?

I'm not saying this because it bothers me.

I'm just curious.

What are they up to?

Friends?

It's not like they went to school together
or worked together.

How can they be friends
when they share no memories?

They can't still be together, right?

If he had lunch outside,

shouldn't he have dinner at home?

Gosh, that's cold!

-Gosh.
-You wench!

Oh, dear.

What are you trying to do to me?

It's okay. It wasn't much.

What do you mean?

It feels as if I've been drenched.

-You're not.
-Where has your mind wandered off to?

It's because you were dozing off.

Lift your head up. Okay?

That really hurt my pride.

Look, NJ.

I think I should just go home.

Why are you being so serious
about declining my offer?

Because you had asked so politely.

I wasn't polite at all.

It was just a thought
that crossed my mind.

You taking it so seriously
is making me feel embarrassed.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

I said that wasn't necessary.

You know you're being ridiculous, right?

Was I asking you to date me or something?

I didn't want to say goodbye yet,
so I thought we could go up and chat.

This is just how I am.

It takes me time to warm up to people.

I mean,

it's already been a month.
How much slower do we need to go?

He's going to stay
as my crush forever at this rate.

Well…

Having a crush doesn't sound too bad.

I'll take my time.

I saw the famous NJ.

I asked her for a photo,
and she downright ignored me.

She does have an awful temper.

And is she really that pretty?
I beg to differ.

So the rumors are true.

-It's just a lousy photo.
-I saw her in person and…

-It's all plastic surgery.
-Just stay home.

She should know
that it's a part of her job.

I left something at your place.

I need to get it right now.

It's something super precious to me.

As a friend, I can ask him
what he's up to.

You have a crush on him.

That's not true.

Are you almost done?

This isn't…
I mean, I don't have a crush on him.

What is this?

What is all this?

Who puts a zucchini this big
in their soup?

What is the matter with you today?

What in the world have you done?

This is bad.

I guess I was wrong.

I do have a crush on him.

Is this yours?

Yes, it is.

Was this
the super precious pouch of yours?

Is this why you came?

Well, you said
it was really precious to you.

Is that it?

So…

I don't think…

he's ever left my mind, not even once.

You know what?

I…

I think…

Who is that?

I haven't seen you in years.

So why did you suddenly show up?

Grandma.

You're the one who invited him inside.

He said he hadn't eaten yet.
I should feed him.

What are you doing? Eat up.

So? Are you two dating again?

Grandma. Just let him eat in peace.

And we're just friends.

Friends, my foot.

Were you that desperate for a friend?

Eat up, will you?

Yes, ma'am.

Look at him nibbling on the food.

-Is it not good?
-It's delicious.

Hey. Slow down.

How desperate are you
to be friends with your ex?

That boy is much better. Ji-ung.

He's well-behaved and cute.

On the other hand, look at him.
He's useless.

Hey, I'm sorry.

You know she likes to
bad-mouth people openly.

Isn't anyone feeding you at home?

You seem to be skinnier now.

So tell me. Do you have a decent job?

Well…

Answer me, will you?

I can see that you're still so bashful.

Grandma, stop scolding him.

Why are you being so harsh to him?

How can I be nice
to someone who made you cry?

I'd love to give him a good beating.

Hey. This won't do. You should just go.

It must be uncomfortable for you.
You should go.

I apologize for her behavior.

I should still eat.

Make sure you have the side dishes too.

Yes, ma'am.

Gosh, look at this belly.

It might burst.

You shouldn't have eaten so much.
You had two bowls of rice.

She gave me more soup if I had rice left

and vice versa. I had no choice.

This is the most I've eaten this year.

She's still the same.

She still scares me straight.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, Ung.

I…

Thanks.

For what?

Well…

For bringing my pouch back.

See?

We can be friends.

Grandma, let me do it.

Okay.

Did he leave?

Yes.

Gosh. He should have stayed longer.

Why didn't he?

How could he
when you were giving him an earful?

I thought you wanted him gone.

That's not true.

But it's true
that he gave you a hard time.

I didn't know you saw me crying.

You were secretly crying for days on end.

How could I have not noticed that?

Thinking about it again
makes my blood boil.

That scumbag. I should have been harsher.

I was the one who dumped him.

I abandoned him.

What?

It was my fault.

I was selfish.

Yeon-su.

Grandma.

I still have feelings for him.

Although I abandoned him…

I was the one who let him go,

but I…

I still like him.

So…

scold me instead.

Tell me I was stupid and cruel.

Scold me.

Ask me why I did something I would regret.

Please…

Please scold me.

Yeon-su…

What should I do?

I don't want to be friends with Ung.

I can't.

But I guess he can.

What should I do?

My poor puppy.

Ms. Kook's eyes are still swollen.

Speaking from experience, she probably
cried for at least five hours.

I'm so exhausted.
I really am. I want to go home.

It's such a lazy afternoon.

Let's have some coffee
to help us stay awake.

-Nice.
-Right?

Let's do a draw
to see who will pay for it.

-Yes? Okay.
-All right.

Let's go. Get it ready.

Okay, go...

Ms. Kook.

Did you see her eyes?

What's wrong with her?

Did you see her eyes?

You look so different.

A carp. She looks like a carp.

Did you cry last night or something?

If that's not it,
how could she look like this?

I didn't cry.

It's a sty.

-What?
-A sty.

It's a sty, sir.

It's a sty.

-It's a sty.
-I knew it.

It's a sty. I told you so.

Since she has a sty,

let's all focus and do a good job.

-Yes, sir.
-You can do it.

-What about the draw?
-Skip it.

-Yes, sir.
-It's a sty.

Goodness. What brings you
all the way here to relax?

No reason. It just felt weird
to be home alone.

You were always alone in that house.

So why did you even move out?
I told you to move back in.

Gosh. I'm not coming back
no matter what you say to me.

What if I ask you to?

I could be a little swayed.

Gosh, what a traitor.

You don't deserve to sit on my bench. Go.

No, you go.

Fine. What a traitor.

-Ung.
-Yes?

Ask Ji-ung if he's having dinner outside.

If not, tell him to come over
since I've made him a delicious meal.

We spoke earlier,
and he'll be working late.

He always pretends
to be busy when he's not.

Really? That's not good.

He needs to have a proper meal today.

Then I'll pack his dinner.
Can you drop it off?

Come on.
Just call a delivery man. I'll pay for it.

Don't be ridiculous.
You're not doing anything anyway.

Gosh, I can't be bothered.

Tell him to come late and eat.

Not today. Hurry and get ready.

Gosh.

You should go home tonight.

I've left the house.

Ji-ung, are you going to the editing room?

Ji-ung.

-Yes?
-Are you going to the editing room?

Yes.

What? Right. Can you leave this there?

I'm going to go home, wash up,
and change my clothes.

Did you spend the night here again?

Yes.

Please do that for me. I'll be back.

Look who's here!
